Did anyone catch the national anthem at the first women’s pro baseball league game?

The inaugural Women’s Pro Baseball League opening game featured a viral, off-key national anthem sung by Motown legend Martha Reeves alongside two other singers.
Performance and Reaction
The Singers: Led by 85-year-old Motown icon Martha Reeves (former lead singer of Martha and the Vandellas) with two backup performers.
The Event: Performed on August 1, 2026, at Robin Roberts Stadium in Springfield, Illinois, before the game between the Los Angeles Queens and New York Heights.
The Blunder: The trio struggled with timing, harmony, and high notes, causing the rendition to quickly unravel and go viral on social media.
The Explanation: Martha Reeves later stated that wet, windy field conditions and a lack of stage monitors prevented her from hearing herself properly.

Made me think of Roseanne’s infamous rendition.

At least that was intentional by her. These cackling hens were actually trying to sound good

People standing (not kneeling) and placing their hand over their heart. I’ll take that over good singing any day.

The Dan and Shay rendition at the WC was so good and had people standing and good singing

I saw it but must have missed the very beginning because I had no idea that was Martha Reeves. Holy shite.

was she doing that on purpose to mock the anthem? or is there something t physically wrong with her voice?
surely this wasn’t a surprise to them after a rehearsal.
